This medicine is used to manage bacterial infections in children, including respiratory tract infections like bronchitis and pneumonia, ear infections such as acute otitis media, skin and soft tissue infections like abscesses and boils, and certain sexually transmitted diseases.

How does Azithral Liquid 100 Syrup work?

Azithral Liquid 100 Syrup contains azithromycin, a macrolide antibiotic. It works by binding to the bacteria's protein-making machinery (the 50S ribosomal subunit), inhibiting the bacteria's ability to produce proteins essential for its growth and multiplication. This stops the bacteria from growing, allowing your child's immune system to eliminate the infection.

The medicine should be given orally to your child, preferably 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal. Shake the suspension well before each use and measure the dose accurately using a special dose-measuring spoon or cup.

The medicine should not be given to children allergic to azithromycin or any other macrolide antibiotic. It should also be used with caution in children with liver or kidney problems or those with a medical history of allergies or specific heart conditions.

Can Azithral Liquid 100 Syrup interact with other medicines?

It may interact with certain medicines such as antacids containing aluminium or magnesium, warfarin, digoxin, nelfinavir and ergot derivatives. Always inform your doctor about any other medicines, supplements, or herbal products your child is taking before starting treatment with this medicine.
